Requirements:
1. Prepare all the entries required in the Jail Addition Capital Projects Fund for Franklin County for the following transactions and events. No explanations are required. If no entry is required, state “No entry required” and state why. Assume that the bond anticipation notes meet the criteria for being treated as long-term debt. June 30 is the fiscal year end for Franklin County. All amounts are in thousands of dollars.
2. Indicate the effects of each transaction on the accounting equation of the Capital Projects Fund and on the General Capital Assets and General Long-Term Liabilities accounts. If an element is not affected, put “NE” in the appropriate box.
